Exhibiting how physique and soul, the carnal and the divine, the senses and the thoughts, may very well be represented as intertwined and depending on one another in numerous methods, it provides due consideration to European girls writers and artists that in unconventional methods responded to the interval’s two primary mental and philosophical attitudes – Epicurean and Stoic – in the direction of the physique and its senses. These attitudes not solely intersect within the interval’s discussions of advantage and different ethical phenomena, however are central to vital evaluation of the relations between feelings, notion, and purpose. By following this subject from a gender perspective, the ebook highlights different types of subjectivity than those often associated to the early trendy interval’s dominating subjectivation of feminine our bodies, considering and wishes.
